Hey, speaking for the group here, we miss your stories! How are you doing? 

Hiiii how are you? We're a bit worried because of your twitter account (⁠;⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)

I just wanted to check-in and say I hope you're okay, as I've noticed that you've deleted your twitter account.

Who knows where I am right now?
          
          If you follow me on twitter you probably have some idea—I had to fly back just before my husband’s birthday. Then he followed me because we are unhealthy like that. We celebrated his day in another state. It was fun but he had a slight cough although we didn’t think much of it.
          
          Until we had to abruptly return to the city because he got sicker which is bad because he’s got health issues. Yeah, it sucks.
          
          Anyway, spent some time in the hospital. Missed the London stop where apparently wonderful things happened, but I’m not a widow so that’s a preferred scenario, alright?
          
          What I’m trying to say is, writing hasn’t been…happening.
          
          This book tour has honestly messed me up in ways I didn’t expect and October continues to do its thing where it keeps trying to kill Mr. Scribe. He is fine tho—doing better which is great. We might be staying put for a while…which is bad because this place makes me drink.
          
          (lol goddamn, if I ever needed to dunk my head into a barrel of bourbon…)
          
          But if you’re wondering—yes, I’m still going to finish my books and have two more coming (only after I finish at least one).
          
          If you’re still around when I am finally able to return then that’ll be fantastic, but I understand if you can’t stick around.

Girl I miss you, when are you returning?

So, I am officially on break.
          
          I was quite nervous about posting the latest chapter, completely forgetting it was for the least liked book and I realized I really didn’t have to worry. But hey, now at least I have another thing to laugh about. Ha!
          
          See you guys in September—hopefully I will have time to write between home and our trip back to the states. We’ll see.
          
          Anyway, yall have a good one!

Dear Reader,
          So, I am just now returning to dry land, but fun fact: my parents also got married on the 22nd day of August, but like...during the ancient times, not 2014. If you're a reader, then you know wtf I am talking about.
          
          We will be traveling to a few countries that mean something to my parents because, I guess, that makes sense? But, yeah, it is happening.
          
          Why am I telling you this?
          
          Okay, we need to set your expectations—I was supposed to write before we went on the little boat trip I have very little memory of now. Something happened and it did not work out—which kind of still pisses me off because I am supposed to finish 'counterfeit'—and I don't know what will happen this week. I still have a couple of days to write, so I will try.
          
          But for now, I need you guys to understand that I am likely going to be busy until the end of August. If you get a chapter during that timeframe, then maybe consider going to church because that will be a miracle.
          
          I mean, the latest 'strings' chapter was written in a plane so…maybe?
          
          Otherwise, I will see yall in September.
          
          Also, buy 107 Days because it debuts on the first day of fall!

Dear Reader,
          
          You've either seen that "strings" got a new chapter or you're just finding out. 
          
          I wrote that entry on a long flight back from the US recently because I was too wired to sleep and I needed something to do in those 15 hours. It's very tropey and it's totally self-indulgent on my part to delve into these very AU themes...I don't know, I have about five entries lined up and ready to go so I might as well do something with them.
          
          But you want to know the god's honest truth?
          
          I have been trying to make myself open the file on "counterfeit". It's next on the list and I am very aware I am two months behind on it. I really have to get a move on that, but...I am scared shitless right now. We are so close to the end and I am genuinely worried I am not going to stick the landing.
          
          This story started on a joke, a kind of dare because my friend pointed out there were people shipping C and K together and that kind of blew my mind...so, really, this wasn't supposed to be a serious thing, but here we are.
          
          It's serious and I have grown to really care about this story.
          
          And I wanna do it right and do it justice.
          
          So, yeah, I know some of your are really up to your limit waiting...but I just need to get a grip and get a little bit of courage, okay? I really appreciate those of you who are still wiling to stick around.
          
          I just really need to write the final chapters and hopefully, I'll see yall on the other side.

Dear Reader,
          
          If you noticed, “the Manuscript” was not originally intended to be entirely about one couple. Things changed and I have no problem with that…it’s just that lately, there has been an influx of really out there story ideas popping up in my head. Not enough for an entirely new multi-chapter story but also kind of too removed from the actual source to fit tM.
          
          So, to remedy that—I started a new collection called “strings” and it’s going to be the home for the stories that don’t necessarily fit in tM in terms of themes, formats and overall vibe. Kind of like the intermission entries only they get their own separate book now.
          
          Unlike tM, the collection won’t necessarily be maintained in a single-entry format because the very first story was…too long to post as one chapter. The following entry will likely be a two-parter as well. Not sure about the three other ones yet since I have not actually written them yet. We’ll see.
          
          I know there’s been a delay in my other stories. Don’t worry—I am still here. Real life has just been a little too real lately.
          
          Maybe you’ll like the new collection, maybe not. I’d still love to know what you think either way.
          
          —cs

I’m gonna be real fuckin honest with you guys…I haven’t written a damn thing since my dog died.
